"She hasn’t co yet; her phone is here at our counter. If your friend cos, I will hand it to her."
"Okay, thanks for your trouble."
Helen lendy hung up the phone, feeling even more puzzled.
She knew that if Elly Campbell didn’t have so urgent matter to attend to, she wouldn’t leave her alone here.
What kind of urgency could it be that she left even without her phone?
The more Helen thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, turning around and pushing the wheelchair towards the store’s exit.
Just as she reached the entrance, she heard a commotion downstairs, faintly catching words like "ambulance," "doctor," and such.
Her heart dropped suddenly, her hand gripping the wheelchair’s armrest tightly.
A strong sense of panic suddenly occupied her mind.
At this mont, a store clerk rushed inside, seeing Helen, and said:
"Mrs. Jones fell from the escalator and is now waiting for the ambulance."
Helen’s face instantly turned pale.

Chloe Turner pushed open the laboratory door, seeing Leo Hall, as usual, standing in front of the lab bench, studying the data of various reagents.
She hesitated at the doorway, pursed her lips, and stepped forward, softly calling, "Boss."
"Hmm?"
Leo didn’t look at her, still focused on his work but spared a mont to respond to her.
"Elly Campbell fell from the escalator in the mall... she’s now... now in the hospital undergoing ergency treatnt."
Leo’s hands suddenly stopped moving, and he turned his head sharply to look at her.
Chloe instinctively avoided his cold gaze but didn’t shy away from the topic of Elly’s fall, saying:
"It’s the effect of the drug in her body acting up again."
Last ti, Leo had Elly drink a temporarily developed potion to suppress the drug’s effects in her body, but it only masked the problem and couldn’t cure her.
An outbreak was inevitable; it was just unexpected that it would happen right when she was on the escalator.
Seeing his solemn expression, with unfathomable emotion in his deep eyes, Chloe felt a pang in her heart and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss, this incident began because of , I will give you an explanation."
Leo ca to his senses, looked up at her, and coldly said, "How do you plan to give an explanation?"
Chloe opened her mouth, dropping her gaze to prevent Leo from seeing the bitterness in her eyes, and said, "I’ll let you handle it as you see fit."
"Really? You’ll do whatever I say?"
Leo asked.
Chloe nodded with a pale face, her lips tightly pressed together, "Yes."
Her hands at her sides clenched into tight fists, waiting to be judged, even if she was ready to face consequences, she was still nervous.
"Then go back and be a good doctor, leave this matter to ."
Waiting to be "sentenced to death" by Leo, Chloe was shocked when she heard these words from him, looking at him full of disbelief.
In fact, from the mont she impulsively gave Elly the drug, she was prepared to face punishnt soday.
Even though Leo never ntioned it thereafter, she had long been ntally prepared.
Today, watching Elly being sent to the ergency room, her first thought was that the effect of the drug was no longer suppressible, causing Elly to fall from the escalator.
